The engineer who ran his train through an
open draw into Newark Bay last night is ne
ported to have done so because he did not
observe the sign ais Fortunately It was a
freight train. There should be an immediate
vacancy for an engineer so unfit for his duties
as not to observe whether the signals Indicate
that drawbridgo is open or closed.
Over $4,000 has been subscribed for the
proposed cathedral, and it was only week
ago Wednesday that Bishop Potters letter
was made public. This is certainly an encOur-
aging start. The site talked of for the build
ing is at Morningsidc Park and West One
hundred and -spteenth-St. That will strike
many people as a good deal out of the way.
Cannot more central location be found 7
Public opinion will warmly support the Cor
poIation Counscl's proposition that the Elcyat-
cd Railway Company be compelled to pay Il
percentage Of its receipts into the city's
v.
Transit Commission. The proposed extensions
a,e to be used as a lever TO bring the company
to terms. 1t is a good idea Us well as an
ingenious one and Mr. Lacombc is too good
a lawyer to propose it if it is not entirely
legitimate.
Commissioner Of Jurors Reilly got some
enlightenment from Justice Barrett yesterday
us to his power and authority in the matter of
making up jury lists. 1t is expected that
marked improvement in the material for jury
men produced in the Sharp trial will be appar-

Reilly wasn't made to understand the situation

is the bad quality of the jurymen complained
Of; another Supreme Court Judge says that
lawyers are refusing to try cases before him
because Of the wrcchcd jurics dawn.
That Governor Hill is willing to do Boss y
McLaughlin's bidding was made evident at
the hearing given yesterday on bills relating
to Brooklyn. Most of the bills are Of minor
Importance but the one reOrganzing the Board
OF Aldermen affects the entire city and is
essential to good government. The Board a.
now mado up consists almost entirely Of Dem
ocrats and, Of course, is totally subservient
to the Boss No change is desired by that
functionary; hence a veto may be looked for
as certain.
The Yacht Atlantic gives promise now of
performing the good work which was expected
but not obtained last year. Either she has
teen tho rccipieat of extraordinarily good luck
this week or else she Is remarkably fast boat
Yesterday, which was a bad day for yacht
race she seized every chance for gaining an
advantage over her rivals and beat her near
est competitor the Galatea, by IL minutes.
The Priscilla was still further behind. A few
more performances like this will make the
Atlantic formidable competitor for the honor
of defending the cup-provided that General
'Paine's unknown docs not more than fulfil the
generous expectations entertained Of her.
The verdict OF the naval court which has
inquired into tho Celtic-Britannic collision
will no doubt seem harsh to some but the
members of the court have not shirked their
duty or shown disposition to present white
